[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
I got my phone about 2-3 weeks ago. It's a 1012 build as well. Stock 2.1 GPS was terrible and rarely worked.

With most custom ROMs it has seemed to work much better. Whatever GPS fix FireFly 2.3 uses works GREAT. I've had 75%-85% luck with Andromeda and ~50% with Cognition. Its kind of a crapshoot.

My guess is Samsung is making these phones using the absolute cheapest garbage components they can - It's the only explanation for the varying results in speed, GPS, and overall usability on the same ROMs on 2 identical phones.

I'm running Andromeda right now and use a Speedometer app using GPS and it works pretty damn well to give me +/- 3MPH.
[Captivate General] sebas.mf:
It works great in Srendipity, haven't tried it in movement but it finds me fast and with +-30 meters radius...
[Captivate General] Mr.Immaculate:
I have an older Cappy, v1008, and truly I don't find it that much worse than my TomTom.

There are distinct caveats to each device. The TomTom takes far longer to lock in new time zones, but tracks a bit better. Both hate the concrete jungle, ie the financial district in SF... Manhattan.
[Captivate General] sethjamto:
I have a 1012 build also and have a flawless GPS....and it was that way out of the box on stock Eclair 2.1 too! Now, on Serendipity, I get a lock INSIDE the house within 6-8 seconds. On stock 2.1 it wasn't much different either.

I'm just one of the lucky ones I guess.....
[Captivate General] groves226:
I never did and still don't have an issue on either Captivate I own.

I asked before if people with issues live in cities, which would explain GPS issues with any device.
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
Mine is build 1101 and out of the box I have had no GPS complaints. It locked fine in less than 10 seconds indoors with Eclair, and still does that with Froyo. Outside, it's usually less than 5 seconds. Tracking seem really accurate.
[Captivate General] illmac:
mine is one of those 1101 versions...i'm guessing it's new since i've only recently acquired it...didn't even use stock captivate, went straight to custom roms and it's gps is pretty solid...alot better than my milestone if that counts for anything
[Captivate General] bigbooty:
Yeah, Serendipity had good GPS as well. I've flashed so many roms in the last month it's nuts...
[Captivate General] Redine761:
I really don't think its that they couldnt fix it but more like they didn't want to
[Captivate General] scidon37:
I've got an 1011 build and gps was crap with stock eclair. I have Cog 4.1 with xcalibur's kernel now and gps had been quick to lock.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denhk3280:
When i wake up,i just find that my 101 cant open,when i press on the power button,the led light just flash 1 time,then it close...

the battery is full charging...

why it cant open????

P.S i may think that i let it to stay at thr recovery mode last light..
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdho:
try holding down the power button to see if it shuts down. Then hit the power again to see if it boots properly.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierreken:
I often have the same problem. When the device goes into standby, I try to turn it on by pressing the power button but it doesn't work:

- Press it once: nothing happens

- Press it again: flashes very shortly and black again

- After that I have to press it several times and sometimes it will turn on. Sometimes I have to reset it completely (press and hold for 10secs)

Really annoying...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fly_us:
Try to set the brightness setting above 30% or more. Most of the time i see that problem is when brightness is set at very low level.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:
Try keeping your entirely unhelpful comments to yourself. They aren't appreciated. People knew what was meant.

I found the device won't power up properly if you let the power drain out of it to the point of it going into standby and then charging it back up again. The light just flashes at you rapidly. Takes a manual power off before it'll boot up again. If I find my device about to power itself down (1-2% power left), I power it off to stop that from happening until I can charge it up again.
[HD2 General] olde_shrimp:
Does anyone know why the hd2 has hsdpa support (hspa+ downloads) before T-Mobile's hspa 4g campaign? It can be considered as half of a 4g device since it only supports 4g downloads but not 4g uploads.
[HD2 General] coldest~~~:
the htc hd2 supports up to 7.2Mbps. But the real 4G t-mobile is coming out is 40+
[HD2 General] orangekid:
HSDPA and HSPA+ are 2 different things.

TmoUS HD2 does support HSDPA (when you see the H in the taskbar) but does not support HSPA+

HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is actually more like 3G+ since I do get insane download speeds on it, and it has the actual capacity to get 14.4 MBPS down (although I don't know anyone who gets that)

HSPA+ (Evolved High-Speed Packet Access) can get up to 42 MBPS down and our phones do not support this.
[EVO Shift 4G General] randomrobbi:
With any rom that I have flashed, I have removed a few of the HTC Widgets and Programs.

The problem that I am noticing is that when I delete the apps using root explorer it lowers the amount of space free on my phone.

Example - I flashed the MikShift rom - and removed Footprints, Peep, Stocks, News, FM Radio, and other various HTC and Sprint Apps, but in doing so - it took away storage space from my phone. Any idea as to why, or how I can remove these apps without it taking away from the storage space on my phone.

It took me from probably 330MB free to 240MB free. I came from a Samsung Epic and never had this problem with removing any of these apps.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
Not sure on the storage issue, I'm not running any bloated roms, though.

Try removing them with titanium backup, see if it will recreate the issue.

sent from Keyser Soze.
[EVO Shift 4G General] e240:
i notice this too
[EVO Shift 4G General] randomrobbi:
I will try that - I was using root explorer. if i delete them from the ROM before i flash then it is fine. Using the MikSense rom - on first boot i have 368 free in SD and Phone Storage.

on a side note, it seems that every rom i have tried i have MMS issues with. the only one i didnt was preludedrews, I think.

When you say remove with titanium backup - do you mean the recovery hack to delete?
[EVO Shift 4G General] RyteSyde:
if you have root you dont need to use the hack. he means just use TB to uninstall it
[EVO Shift 4G General] randomrobbi:
thanks - now i dont have any 3G with the mikshift rom - going to RUU back to stock - re-root - and re-flash it. I just want a speedy decent stock rom without all the BS and working data and MMS for the moment.

I am really hoping that a good MiUi Port or CM 6/7 gets here soon enough. I got tired of waiting for either of those on the epic
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
ive been running the stock rom, rooted, and OC'd to 1.2 and all the bloat removed and have no problems with anything. the stock rom runs fine. just wish someone would finish porting the desire rom. that is the sweetest rom on here so far
[EVO Shift 4G General] everydaysince87:
Edit after I wiped cache and dalvik to flash the 1.8 back I gained 11mb .......Ok so I deleted sprint tv tel Nav quick office and some other apps I can't remember I didn't lose any internal memory I used TB but I only gained 2mb internal storage Lmao not much....I'm wondering if the shift will ever have a memory boost from firerat like the G1/hero
[EVO Shift 4G General] androiddummy:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/evo-shift-development/ti-x-shift/30/

Ive had good luck with this rom
[EVO Shift 4G General] randomrobbi:
cool - i will give it a shot.

I ended up RUU'ing back to stock, re-rooting, re-flashed clockwork, and have used Titanium Backup to uninstall everything I didnt want. I also used the Install Updates into ROM function of titanium and now I have about 360 MB free on my phone, with only Titanium and ES File Manager Installed.

Please forgive me to ask the question, but i'm totally lost

I just would like to know if there is at the moment a 2.2 rom working on the X10 with Flash, dualtouch and all basic functions: camera/camcreder/GPS/wifi

Thanks a lot and sorry to bother you if my searchs were too light
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDwan:
You can't have looked that hard there are at least 3 of these threads on the 2nd page of the Q&A section and many more further along. Plus, you could have checked the different threads in the Development section to see what ROMs had what working.

Anyway, FreeX10 Beta 4 has all of those things working except the camcorder but you can use an app from the Market for that if you really want to use the camcorder. I'm sure some of the CM ROMs work with most of the same things that Beta 4 does too. Anyway, check out Beta 4 in the Development section and see if there are other ROMs there that appeal to you.

There is no complete 2.2 rom yet with a fully functioning camcorder. I dont think that will happen until the bootloader is cracked. As the other billions posts say there is alternatives.

I know if we used the options script,this would make for some pretty big ROMs in the future if we included a lot of options that could be installed. Nice find though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I totally agree about the file size, it could grow exponentially.

It comes down to what the Rom maker chooses to do.

Maybe they choose make a stock base Rom and have a configurable add-on package.

There's also a decent example of using the ifelse() built-in in there.

=]
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
We could conceivably make some server side web scripts that can put together the config script dynamically and create the appropriate zip file on the fly for a user...
[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
My thought....

Your_Rom_Name.zip

Your_Rom_Name_Install_Options.cfg

You could have a single ROM download and offer a stripped base rom or a full sized rom, all installed from the same ROM zip file. There would only be one ROM file to upload and maintain, but you could have multiple install packages based on it...much like an install shield type wizard would give options like minimum, standard, full.

Good find.

Have implemented these ideas with some additions to my own updater-script and posted info about how to do it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19962544#post19962544

Thanks so much! I linked back to this thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
However, while this could result in singly large roms, it has a huge silver lining. The fact of the matter is that I post my roms with a standard and a lite version. For testing's sake, I keep both of them on my SD card, which results in up to 150 MB more memory usage than I need. Plus, I have to ensure that I update TWO packages identically, while this setup would allow me to focus on one.

I have been scouring the web for features like this, but for how widely used it is, resources on edify scripts are scant. This is a great find and I believe I will be implementing it in my future releases. The only thing that could be better would be active prompts and selections while running the installer... ah if only!

Boy I can't believe I never saw this thread before...

hello friends,

arc widgets not appearing in any launcher other than arc launcher is not a mistake or error or issue, its genius programming by SE thats causing this :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrRalphMan:
If it's like any other Data2SD app, there is no client app to set it up.

As long as you have the Ext2/3/4 partition on your SD card it should be using it.

I check mine via Quick System Info. If your Data2SD is working correctly the A2SD and Internal Storage details should be the same.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HorNet505:
thanks Ralph,

I like to know your opinion on that:

I play with the idea of repartitioning my Fat32 SD card inside windows.

I like to use "ACRONIS Partition Manager" to subtract space from my FAT32 partition and create an ext3 partition behind it.

Now I am not shure if I have to create a primary or extended partition and if the position does matter (behind/before fat32)?

Any idea ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrRalphMan:
Hi,

I also did it in Wondows, using another partiotion manager.

I believe that the Ext partition (I used Ext3) should be after the Fat32 partition.

If you are doing it from scratch, it might be worth doing it via gparted, to ensure that your partitions are Aligned to the SD Card.

You can download a bootable CD Image that you can partition the card with. I am going to do this when I get a chance.
